With pep talks, records, and Sooners lore, this lively, detailed
book explores the personalities, events, and facts every Oklahoma
fan should know. It contains crucial information such as important
dates, player nicknames, memorable moments, and outstanding
achievements by singular players. This guide to all things Oklahoma
covers each position’s best players in Sooners history, the
“game of the century,” and Sooner Schooner’s first
appearance. Now updated through the 2013 season, this book includes
additional chapters covering developments of the last few seasons,
such as the 2010 draft which saw the most players taken from one
school in the first four picks of the draft and Oklahoma’s
January 2014 win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
Packed with never-before-seen photos, plans and meticulous new
digital artwork, this is the first history of the USAAF's
futuristic World War II prototype interceptor, the XP-67 "Moonbat".
The series of X-planes that sprang from the US Army's Request for
Data R40C, focused on high-altitude, high-speed, long-range bomber
interceptors. Among these aircraft was the McDonnell Aircraft
Company's first ever clean sheet design, the XP67. Its futuristic
lines promised performance that it was ultimately unable to
deliver, but development was still underway when disaster struck.
Just before Army performance demonstration flights were scheduled
to begin, an engine fire destroyed the only XP-67 prototype,
leaving a host of unanswered questions about what might have been,
and leading to decades of continuing fascination with the XP-67
among aviation buffs and aircraft modelers. The authors of this
book have uncovered new sources of information and a wealth of
photographs and line drawings that document not just the XP-67 but
also its immediate precursors within the McDonnell Aircraft design
community, as well as alternative configurations for unbuilt
variants aimed at different missions. Packed with unpublished
photos of all stages of construction including key airframe changes
made after initial flight tests, showing in detail how the final
configuration was evolved, this volume finally provides clear focus
on a story that has long been shrouded in mystery.
From treehouse dream to global brand, Tofurky's Founder and
Chairman shares his story of selling millions of plant-based food
products without selling out. Success doesn't happen overnight.
Except for Seth Tibbott, to whom it does-but only after fifteen
years of intrepid failure. In Search of the Wild Tofurky tells the
triumphant tale of how a self-described hippie with no business
training but plenty of enterprising goals grew a $2,500 startup
into a global brand and ushered in a plant-based foods renaissance
along the way. Tibbott took home a grand total of $31,000 in his
first nine years of striving to bring to the people a nearly
unknown soy product-tempeh-he knew in his gut was revolutionarily
tasty. He eschewed a buttoned-up lifestyle and resided in tipis,
trailers, and a treehouse; rented workspace to piano-repairing
circus clowns; and even briefly counted the infamous Rajneeshees as
clients. Tibbott was never one to chase the money or try to fit in.
Instead, he built a business that fit him. Thus Tibbott discovered
the "secret sauce" ingredients that took his now-international
brand from fameless to fame-ish to famous: bootstrapping, building
business intuition, and staying true to his belief in eco-friendly
practices. In Search of the Wild Tofurky proves that a good idea
can change the world and make money, no matter the naysayers or the
sometimes harsh twists and turns of the unconventional path. Look
no further for a delightfully unexpected $100 million story of hope
and hustle.
